Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality
  • Price
Lot distribution rule: Bidders can bid for, and be successful on, all lots.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
